Circulatory System A picture of the circulatory system.

What is the function of the circulatory system? The function of the circulatory system is divided into two parts. The cardiovascular system delivers nutrients to the cells of the body through the blood. Blood is pumped by the heart and carried to the tissues and cells through the blood vessels.

What are the parts of the circulatory system?. The parts of the circulatory system are the heart, the blood vessels, and the blood.

What does each part of the system do? The heart pumps blood throughout the body. The veins carry blood back to the heart. (the blue color is used to show blood with carbon dioxide) The artery carries blood away from the heart.

How does the circulatory system work with and help other systems? The human body is made up of many organ systems that work together to make the body function properly. Your circulatory system and respiratory system work together to transport oxygen and carbon dioxide through your body.

How do you think we could keep our circulatory system healthy? We can keep your body fit and in shape and by avoiding junk food.
